i have one 2 mile stretch that doesn't have a single cross street. other sections have timed lights, such that if i hustle a bit i can usually make all but one of them.
so a 16 mph overall average isn't that remarkable given the nature of my route. and the tailwind this morning certainly helped. my typical time is more like 35 minutes.
